• WWE Decided To Release Andrade
After making his last appearance in a TLC match at SummerSlam last month, Andrade disappeared from WWE programming. Earlier today, news broke that the former United States Champion left the company.
His departure was reportedly in the works for at least a week. He was set to team up with Rey Fenix and challenge The Wyatt Sicks for the WWE Tag Team Championship at Clash In Paris, per Fightful Select.
According to Sports Illustrated, Andrade was effectively released by WWE. The departure was not a mutual decision. It is unknown if the Mexican star requested his release. It was also noted that the release was not related to budget cuts.
• Update On Steve Austin & The Rock’s Status For WrestleMania 43
WWE confirmed in an event in Las Vegas that Saudi Arabia will become the third country to host a WrestleMania. The Show Of Shows will head to the kingdom in 2027.
Before the announcement, the Wrestling Observer reported that WWE is planning to have a star-studded line-up for the event. It was stated that there are plans to have The Rock vs. Cody Rhodes or Roman Reigns as the main event of the show and an agreement with The Final Boss was close to being sealed.
Another major name being discussed according to the report was Stone Cold Steve Austin.
Fightful Select provided an update in which it was revealed that WWE has not approached The Rock or Stone Cold Steve Austin for the event yet.
Saudi Arabia would definitely like to have both legends at The Grandest Stage of Them All, but it’s probably too early for WWE to approach them.
